Web logins broke after upgrade fro 5.70 to 6.80

[StriclyFlava]

Hi all. I upgraded my version of Advanced Host Monitor from v5.70 to v6.80 this weekend, running on Windows 2003 SP1. I did not follow the upgrade path, instead I installed 6.80 to a new folder, copied over the .ini, .lst and .hml files to the installation folder and fired the app up.

Everything went very well, except for the fact that the existing users that were setup could not log into the web service. The errors that were being logged were:

RCI Authorization failed: Unacceptable IP address. Operator: <username>

None of the user IP addresses had changed, and the only way I was able to get this working was to recreate the users and add all of the acceptable IPs back to the accounts. Does anyone have any idea what may have happened?

Thanks in advance.

Probably you forgot to copy users.lst file

Thanks for the reply Alex.

If I missed the users.lst file, wouldn't I not have any users configured though? I had all of the users and IP addresses in the user configuration, so I am pretty sure I copied that file over. For some reason, after the upgrade the web service didn't like the sources and can't figure out why. Were there any major changes between 5.70 and 6.80 with respect to the web service/user config that I may have missed?

Thanks.

Yes, list would be empty.

May be... there were made a lot of changes. That's why we recommend to upgrade software using "normal" process - installation program.
Simple copy operation is good when you want to move software from one system to another (without changing settings or folder structure).
